SilverStone, seeking the excellence - Test results and Loudness

Indice articoli

silverstoneToday we inaugurate a series of articles about the famous SilverStone brand, starting with an analysis of its proprietary cooling solutions. Furthermore, we will present a series of cabinets each having different features, hence oriented to different user groups; we’ll also present during the analysis several interesting products, always of the same brand.

Test results and Loudness

Note : our intention is to determine, in the best possible way, the efficiency of the cabinet’s thermal dissipation so we’ve utilized a custom fan profile, to permit a more accurate evaluation of the temperatures.
In order to evaluate the best possible efficiency of heat dissipation of the case, we’ve used a custom profile with the graphic’s card fan, with a fixed speed at 85%. We also tried to leave the “auto” profile, in order to assess the loudness of the overall system and the trade-off with thermal efficiency.

 

Temperatures TJ09S-W:

The fact that the TJ is able to achieve performance comparable to the Akasa Venom Toxic, which has an enormous open side window, is a very satisfactory result. It’s pretty obvious that the ‘’Air Duct’’ ventilation design  have led, first, the reduction of the fans number inside the cabinet and, second, the improvement of heat dissipation performance. Regarding the hard drives we haven’t got a so breathtaking result, as hoped, but we need to remember that it’s possible to add a fan, and also improve the performance in this sector. This is also true for the CPU itself, given the absence of two fans on the top of the cabinet.

Temperatures FT02-LE:

We need comments? The highest performance ever achieved! A great case, especially for video cards. Thanks to the vertical orientation, even putting two GTX 480 in SLI, or any other video card in parallel, we don’t encounter the phenomenon of higher temperature for the first video card, the one closest to the CPU, due to the fact that the heat tends to rise. Fantastic performance, only for this reason we should recommend the purchase.

Noise TJ09S-W:

The cabinet is very quiet, very low dBA given the number of fans included and given the characteristics of 1200RPM and only 21dBA.

Noise FT02-LE:

The cabinet is quiet when the three A181 fans are set to 700RPM, 18 dBA, otherwise you can clearly hear their 34dBA at full speed, which grants unparalleled performances. However there is a comfortable fan controller, and even with fans at 700RPM, temperatures will not be compromised at all.
